We divide 86996 by 85
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 86996.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 86 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 85 from 86.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
19 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 199 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 goes into 199 2 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we take 170 away from 199, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 85

Step 5:
85 can be fit into 296 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1023.0
Subtracting 255 from 296 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 410 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1023.4
Deduct 340 from 410 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1023.48
If we take 680 away from 700, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1023.482
Deduct 170 from 200 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1023.4823
Subtracting 255 from 300 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1023.48235
Subtract 425 from 450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1023.482352
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
85 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1023.4823529
If we subtract 765 from 800, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 350 by 85, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1023.48235294
Subtracting 340 from 350 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1023.48235294, and the remainder is 1e-08.
